Reconnect with your innate creativity
Think you’re not creative? Baloney. Everyone is. It’s innate and just about every aspect of life requires some measure of creativity. Think negotiating with a teenager, or coming up with a different sack lunch idea or managing a marriage or painting a picture or leading a staff. It all pulls from our creative muscle and [...]
Making even a short break powerful
It takes more than a change of location to access the benefits that come with a vacation like better sleep, (even when you return), a healthier heart, better immune function, lower stress, and more joy. To maximize those feel-good qualities, you’ve got to shift your focus from the stress-producing routine to something that lightens and [...]
Why You Must Take a Break
I know, I know, with kids and work and soccer practice and all the expenses of life, it might be tough to get away for an afternoon, let alone a week. But, do it anyhow. Make the time. Vacations – a break from the regular routine – contribute to peace of mind, good health and [...]

How to find the flow
One thing about flow – when you’re in it, it just feels good. Life just moves easier. You feel creative, inspired, energized; good things swarm into your life and when the difficulties appear the right people and things literally flow in to help you move through them. Sometimes those feelings of flow may last only [...]
Why flow works better than force
I’m no longer a resolution setter. At least not in the traditional I-resolve-to-lose-32-pounds-by-next-weekend kind of way. These days, I pick an annual theme. And the theme for 2011 is Flow. I’m defining flow as: going with whatever comes my way – even if I’d rather micromanage and control every element including what my daughter wears [...]
Aligning body, spirit, mind
For a long time I’ve thought my body and brain as separate as church and state – without the controversy. My body addled with rheumatoid arthritis has never been the most comfortable or efficient vehicle. My brain strong and sharp has helped me cope with physical limitations and pain – and it’s also helped me [...]
Proof pages connect you to positive energy
Journaling is good for our bodies (boosts immune function) and our brains (eases stress, enhances creativity). And, it can contribute to our happiness factor. The Bigwigs say that by reflecting on happy moments from the past, we feel happier now. Still, I don’t always journal every day. But, I do jot notes throughout each day. [...]
Five ways to feel better fast
Some days it’s a little harder than others to get up and get your groove on. Nothing’s really wrong, but you’re clearly out of alignment with the Universe and vibrating on the frequency of spider who just realized he’s in a house plant not the rainforest he was meant for all along. Instead of waking [...]
Leave behind something good
“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in [...]
